Committed to social justice and culturally-responsive care, Dr. Margolis has dedicated her career to enhancing systems of care to better serve marginalized children and families across the continuum of care to include prevention and health promotion in infancy and early childhood. At UCSF/ZSFG, Dr. Margolis leads the pediatric integrated behavioral health team and the UCSF Technical Assistance initiative to promote Medi-Cal payment reform to expand Early Childhood/Dyadic integrated behavioral health services across California. As part of this work, Dr. Margolis directs the ZSFG Children's Health Center HealthySteps Program and its expansion into the San Francisco Health Network.
